Hearing this, Pei Yun subconsciously touched the spiritual jade hanging around his neck and looked at him in amazement.

She never expected that this person had been silently protecting her when he gave her the jade token.

Moreover, just for the sake of a jade token, he actually came out of seclusion and came all the way from Beiqizhou to rescue her. Apart from her mother, no one in her past and present life has ever cared for her so much.

At this moment, she could no longer avoid or deny her feelings for Luo Rufeng. Perhaps she had already been moved a long time ago...

"...Thank you, Your Excellency, for coming to rescue me." Pei Yun lowered his eyes shyly, not wanting him to see the uncontrollable excitement and admiration in his eyes.

"You're welcome." Luo Rufeng said, looking at the Zhenhua consciousness and sword spirit that appeared in the room, "I wonder if these two seniors..."

Pei Yun came back to her senses and introduced the two of them to Luo Rufeng. She was also going to find Luo Rufeng with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

"...Are you willing to sign a contract with me?" the sword spirit said indifferently.

The Zhenhua consciousness beside him looked at Luo Rufeng with his hands behind his back and said, "As long as the Demon-Slaying Sword recognizes you as its master, you can obtain the inheritance of Zhenhua..."

Luo Rufeng glanced at Pei Yun in surprise. He didn't expect that this demon-slaying sword was an opportunity brought to him by Pei Yun.

"If Senior Sword Spirit is willing to sign a contract with me, I am willing to do so." A strange light flashed across Luo Rufeng's eyes, and he saluted the two of them.

When he used this spiritual sword in the secret realm before, he felt that this sword was extraordinary. However, he was in a hurry to save Pei Yun at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to it. This sword has given birth to a sword spirit, which must be of the heavenly grade or above. If it were released outside, it would definitely be snatched up by the powerful people of various factions.

Luo Rufeng's guess was correct. This sword has surpassed the heavenly grade and can be considered a semi-immortal weapon.

Originally Zhenhua wanted to ascend to the upper realm with the sword spirit, but the sword spirit refused. He somehow sensed that his opportunity was still in the Haoyu Continent, and he also wanted to be promoted to a real immortal sword before ascending.

"...If you take the Demon-Slaying Sword, you must shoulder the responsibility of slaying demons and protecting the way of the world. It is your duty to eradicate the demons and protect the people. Can you do it?"

"...I have two wishes in my life, one is to pursue the limit of swordsmanship, the other is to protect the common people. Regardless of whether there is a demon-killing sword or not, I will do my best to eradicate the demons..." Luo Rufeng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The sword spirit and Zhenhua consciousness both nodded in appreciation. They could both see that Luo Rufeng's words and deeds were upright, and the swordsmanship he displayed was also upright and aboveboard, and he was not a wicked person.

The two looked at each other and returned to the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The Demon-Slaying Sword came to Luo Rufeng in mid-air, and the sword spirit said, "You come and take this sword!"

Luo Rufeng walked forward with a determined look, raised one hand and grasped the scabbard. The next moment, the black sword burst into dazzling golden light...

Pei Yun, who was watching from the side, subconsciously took a step back and raised his hand to block the light in front of him.

A golden seal emerged from the Demon-Slaying Sword and quickly entered Luo Rufeng's mind.

Luo Rufeng's whole body was shocked. He felt the golden seal entering his mind and transforming into countless sword mysteries, filling his entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Accepting all of Zhenhua's inheritance at once, even his soul power couldn't bear it, and he fainted...

"Your Excellency!" Pei Yun hurriedly helped Luo Rufeng to the bed to rest, and asked worriedly, "Two seniors, will Your Excellency be okay?"

"Don't worry, he just accepted Zhenhua's inheritance all at once, and his soul can't bear it. He will wake up tomorrow."

Sure enough, the next day, Luo Rufeng woke up and was in the same condition as usual. Pei Yun was relieved and prepared to go back to Beiqizhou with him.

On the way to the dock, Pei Yun asked the bird demon who was playing with Xiao Bai: "...Are you sure you want to go back to Beiqizhou with us? Doesn't this make your journey home even further away?"

"But I haven't found the Monster Realm Mountain yet. Instead of staying alone in Nanyue Continent, why not go to Beiqi Continent with you? I have never been to Beiqi Continent in my life!"

The little bird demon stood on Xiaobai's head mischievously. Xiaobai shook his head uncomfortably, trying to shake it off.

"Two seniors, venerable ones, do you know where the Demon Realm Mountain is?" Pei Yun asked the three people beside him.

Luo Rufeng looked at the little bird demon, frowned and shook his head.

Zhenhua looked at the bird demon with surprise and said, "You are actually a demon from the Demon Realm Mountain! Zhenhua has been to the Demon Realm Mountain once before, but at that time he was invited by a friend from the demon clan. The Demon Realm Mountain is regarded as a sacred mountain by the demon clan. Only the great demons with noble status in the demon clan can live there. Outsiders can't find the Demon Realm Mountain at all..."

After hearing this, the little bird demon was not discouraged. Instead, he straightened his body proudly and boasted without any hesitation: "I have already said that I am a divine bird. Those big demons in the Demon Realm Mountain have to call me sir. Don't worry, Pei Yun, when my brother comes, I will let him reward you well..."

The little bird demon flew to Pei Yun's shoulder, flapped its wings and patted her shoulder encouragingly...

Pei Yun was speechless for a moment. He no longer paid attention to the arrogant bird and asked Luo Rufeng about the recent situation of Yunshan Sect...

Seven days later, Pei Yun finally returned to Yunshan Sect after more than three years of traveling...

The square of Yunshan Sect was still bustling with activity. She had wanted to go to Danxiang Pavilion first, but unexpectedly she met Lu Yu and Zhao Yuexi first. They were very surprised to see her return, so they followed her to Pingzhu Peak as guests.

"Junior Sister Pei, your cultivation is improving so fast that I can't see through it now..." Lu Yu sighed.

When the two learned that Pei Yun had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, they both exclaimed in disbelief!

"Oh my God! Junior Sister Pei...Oh no, it should be Senior Sister Pei!" Zhao Yuexi said half-jokingly.

In fact, during these three years, the cultivation of both of them has improved. Zhao Yuexi has broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and Lu Yu has completed the foundation building. Such advancement is already the fastest in the sect, but it is still far inferior to Pei Yun.

The transition from foundation building to golden elixir is a great realm, and it is not so easy to break through. Among the top 100 disciples in this foundation building competition, only Pei Yunluoqi and Gu Yuan broke through to the golden elixir stage.

Gu Yuan stayed at the level of perfect foundation building for a long time, trapped by false reputation. After losing to Pei Yunluoqi successively, he finally came out.

Luo Qi is Luo Rufeng's apprentice, and is also a famous talented swordsman among the younger generation in Beiqizhou. However, even he is only in the early stage of Golden Core now, while Pei Yun has now surpassed him in cultivation.

"Senior Sister Zhao, you're joking. You two can just call me Junior Sister as before..." Pei Yun smiled and shook his head, then began to ask the two of them about the latest developments in Yunshan Sect and Beiqizhou.

"Beiqizhou has been quite peaceful these days, but I heard that a demon cave was discovered in Dongcangzhou. Everyone says that the demons have become more and more rampant in recent years..."

"Oh! I heard from my father that the sect's Golden Core Competition is about to begin. This competition is related to the quota for the Glacier Secret Realm..."

Pei Yun's mind moved. She had already obtained the quota for the Glacier Secret Realm. It was Luo Rufeng who suggested that she exchange her merits for the quota. It seemed that she didn't need to participate in this competition.

"Oh, by the way... Junior Sister Pei, there is one thing you may not know..." Lu Yu seemed to have suddenly remembered something and began to stammer, "Um... Senior Brother Luo Qi has been getting close to a junior sister recently..."

As soon as she said this, Zhao Yuexi looked at her and sighed. When they were in the Huanyue Sect, there were rumors that Luo Qi and Pei Yun had an ambiguous relationship, so the two didn't know whether Pei Yun would be sad because of this.

Pei Yun was not sad, but shocked! She suddenly thought of Senior Sister Su Yue, and the words that bright and cheerful woman said to her, "I just like Luo Qi."

"When did this happen? Senior Brother Luo Qi and this woman...are together?"

Seeing her anxious expression, the two misunderstood her relationship with Luo Qi and tried to comfort her, saying, "... they just walked a little closer, and it was this woman who took the initiative to go to Ling Jianfeng..."

After the two left, Pei Yun went to Lingjian Peak to look for Luo Qi.

Luo Rufeng was sitting in the inner room of the palace, sorting out the sword techniques left by Zhenhua. As soon as Pei Yun reached Lingjian Peak, his spiritual sense detected her presence.

He thought she was here to see him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously. Just as he was about to stand up to greet her, he found that she had walked into the palace where Luo Qi lived not far away...
